    Default Wheel color

    I love my wheels i have on my accord now but absolutely hate the color.(Black with red pin stripe). It doesnt match the gold color at all.

    my question is if this were your car, what color would you paint them?

    I'm thinking either white or chrome dipped.

    Just llooking for opinion, NOT building my car to others expectations bc im sure someone will try to call me out on that.

    Thanks.
    Chase.

    Tint the windows and take the red stripe off and you will be surprised how well they match.

    It might take some time to polish them but in the end it would be worth it I think.

    Just make sure you strip them good and it will be pie. You don't have to get past that uneven finish like there is on an oem wheel. It will be nice and smooth under that black.

    Do it! Haha

    Hard to really decide what would go good under that champagne/tan/whatever color the car is. I would say silver. There is someone running around here with those offroad Grids in silver on his Prelude and it looks good.

    naw, thatd be to much gold for gold or bronze.

    or i was also thinking using aircraft stripper and taking them down to bare metal. and leaving them like that.

    Polished or chrome. Would look very good. And the car looks good without tinted windows. Later, QD.
